Original build scope

What to build first

C01 volume, C02 full PTT and C03 front mechanism fixtures; C04/C05 rear lettering/bond comparison and C06 cloth sample. Then one full unpowered fit enclosure. Defer cosmetic tooling/metal trim commitment until the antenna layout is reviewed.

Confirm before the affected stage

Before mechanism acceptance
Fixture results, spring lot/force data, machined datum capability, thread tests and measured end-press behavior.Rapid with Walkie One mechanical
Before full finish
Skin casting/bond map, rear fill, cloth grade/W process and matched metal/skin samples.Rapid proposes; Walkie One design approves
Before cosmetic tooling or powered build
Actual conductor map, antenna placement/clearance, mated connector/coax and harness. The retained antenna location is a packaging reference, not RF approval.Walkie One electrical/RF
